Unleashing Powerful Analytics: Technical Deep Dive into Cassandra-Spark Integration

Apache Cassandra has long been favored by organizations dealing with large volumes of data that require distributed storage and processing capabilities. Its decentralized architecture and tunable consistency levels make it ideal for handling massive datasets across multiple nodes with minimal latency. On the other hand, Apache Spark excels in processing and analyzing data in-memory, making it an excellent complement to Cassandra for performing real-time analytics and batch processing tasks.

Is Cloud-Based Receipt Software the Smart Choice?

In the current digital space, businesses are constantly looking for solutions that can help them save time and money. One such solution is cloud-based receipt software. It provides a way for consumers to move away from paper receipts, but does it make sense for organizations wanting to modernize?

Transform your workflow with Raygun's remote MCP

We're happy to announce Raygun's new remote MCP server, giving AI tools direct access to live error data so they can investigate issues, surface root causes, and take action with real context, not guesses. It's been nearly a year since Anthropic released the Model Context Protocol (MCP), and a lot has changed in the AI space. Since then, almost all major players now support MCP, allowing them to tap into the massive and ever-expanding catalogue of MCP servers. When MCP first launched, we shipped our own Raygun MCP within 48 hours of the spec dropping, which was an early step toward giving LLMs visibility into Raygun data.

Terminate Idle Connections Automatically

Learn how to automatically close inactive connections in your Aiven for PostgreSQL service using pgBouncer’s idle timeout setting. In this demo, we’ll walk through the Aiven Console to adjust the server_idle_timeout value in pgBouncer’s advanced configuration, helping you optimise performance and free up resources by terminating idle connections faster.

Orbital Materials: WorldClass AI Models Built on CivoStack

Daniel Miodovnik, COO of Orbital Materials, explains how the CivoStack enables world‑class AI models that outperform the big‑tech giants. He outlines the power‑draw and cooling of megawatt‑scale GPU racks, the water‑ and CO₂‑intensity of today’s data centres, and why a sovereign, Civo‑based solution is the key to speed, and predictable costs.

How to Optimize GPU

The Problem: AI workloads are dynamic, unpredictable, and expensive. Data prep can choke your pipeline, training jobs hog GPUs without awareness, and inference, the most latency-sensitive phase, is notoriously hard to scale efficiently. Worse, traditional infrastructure tools treat GPU as a static commodity, ignoring model intent, workload shape, and sharing capabilities.

MOCK AWS SES Locally! Stop Sending Test Emails & Cut Cloud Costs

In this quick guide, Speedscale's Matt LeRay shows you how to free your local development environment from direct AWS SES dependencies. When your application sends an email during local testing, it usually triggers a live AWS transaction, leading to slow tests, unnecessary cloud costs, and sometimes even spam filter issues.

Stop Getting Charged for Test Emails! #speedscale #aws #ses

Tired of local development using AWS SES leading to spam, cloud costs, and unnecessary API calls? When testing your app, you shouldn't have to connect to a live cloud environment just to send a test email. Learn how to set up your own local ProxyMock server to intercept and record real SES calls, so you can replay them instantly and accurately without ever leaving your desktop.
